The quote heard 'round the world: "I did it myself, yeah... Yeeaaahhh."
As Kimye came to an end, Julia Fox emerged as Kanye West's new muse. Appearing on his arm during fashion week, Julia quickly took over social media with her unique outfits-- and even more unique eye makeup. Though Fox's style is bold, she has encouraged her followers to recreate her DIY looks; some are as simple as cutting a t-shirt or pair of jeans. Mixing designer pieces with hand-crafted clothes, Fox has certainly added a new element to celebrity street-style. Let's break down a few of her DIY moments:
While most A-listers hire professional makeup artists to create eye looks, Ms. Fox repeatedly recreates her own signature smokey eye for events. In when asked in a Vanity Fair interview for the Oscars' Red Carpet who did her bold, black eyeshadow, Julia responded, "I actually did it myself" (vanityfair.com). While this head-turning look isn't for everyone, it doesn't require spending money on a makeup artist for fans to recreate it. In fact, Julia Fox has posted a tutorial via YouTube for fans. All that's needed is some pitch-black eyeshadow & eyeliner, as well as a single brush to recreate the infamous "Fox Eye."

In addition to bold makeup, Julia Fox has caught the media's eye with her DIY outfits. One look that spread across the internet like rapid fire was her unique denim look; Fox strutted in an outfit that appeared to be a pair of jeans that were cut at the waist, producing an extremely cropped denim top and low-rise bottoms. Julia's jean set was paired with an additional pair of denim pants that were repurposed for a bag, as well as matching denim boots. This DIY denim set has inspired many young females to turn their jeans into two-piece looks for the season, replicating Fox's unique take on matching sets. If you're thinking of recreating this look, acquire denim from a local thrift store before resorting to fast-fashion companies for a new pair; this look can be a sustainable AND trendy trendy addition to your summer wardrobe.

Julia Fox's DIY style isn't limited to cutting a pair of jeans; the celebrity has also managed to rock the internet's world by chopping a white tank top in half. Fox posted a DIY tutorial for this look, even mentioning that the tank top she used costed less than $10.00. The 32-year-old added on-brand flare to this simple set with patent leather gloves and boots, as well as a black mini purse. While the accessories aren't easy to recreate, Fox's matching white set can easily be a part of your closet; the materials can be found at any thrift store!

While Julia Fox's style isn't for everyone, I applaud the refreshing aspect of a celebrity openly encouraging the idea that high-fashion doesn't have to come straight from the runway, but also from scissors and a pair of jeans. It allows today's young adult to take a break from mindless online shopping and get crafty with Fox's DIY tutorials!
